Urban Meyer didn't mince words when he was asked to evaluate his Ohio State football team after wrapping up spring practice last Saturday.
"We did not improve as a team," Meyer said flatly, according to John Porentas of The Ozone. "That was not a good team out there. As a team, that was a lot worse than you saw in January."
The Buckeyes, of course, are building up for a title defense after running over Alabama and Oregon to win the first-ever College Football Playoff. They return a number of key starters such as Ezekiel Elliott, Joey Bosa and a trio of championship-caliber quarterbacks, but Meyer was hoping to see more from his squad this spring.
It wasn't all bad. Meyer noted improvement at the player level and consistently praised certain guys throughout spring.
Urban gives an "Eh." to the Buckeyes team as a whole coming out of spring. Says there was individual improvement, not team
